Jay expressed his opinion on the matter on behalf of the Ares family. "I’ll investigate this matter, Mr. Bell. I promise to give you an explanation."
He looked askance at Rose and gnashed his teeth. "I'll deal with Rose too."
The head of the Bell family said, "Please do, Master Ares! Just give her a small punishment as a warning will do. I don't want anyone killed." He was gone as soon as his voice fell.
Petrified, Rose yelled at the Bell family who was leaving, "Old Master Bell, I'm willing to accept any punishment from you." 'I'll go down on my knees. I beg you, please don't leave me to Jay, this demon king!'
Jay gazed at Rose and said eerily, "Come with me."
Rose hugged the European-styled wooden pillar next t o her firmly as though she was trying to mould herself on it and be a part of it.
After taking a few steps, Jay turned around to find Rose still standing on the same spot. Frost enshrouded his eyes at once.
"Rose?" His voice carried the high pressure of a volcanic eruption.
Rose glanced at Jay pitifully. "Sir Ares, this has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to trouble
yourself with this. I'll go to Bell's residence to ask for forgiveness and accept my punishment."
If she fell into Jay’s hands, she would not escape unscathed even if she survived.
Jay stood rooted to the same spot. He crossed his arms and stared at Rose with a smug look on his face." Weren't you really arrogant when you were beating Sean up just now?"
Rose was about to burst into tears. "Sir Ares, I was wrong. If I had known that this would cause you trouble, I wouldn't have the guts to bash him up, okay?"
Rose was actually afraid of Jay. In her past life, she both loved and feared him. When he was in a good temper, she could act like a pet cat and lie on his body acting like a spoiled child. When he lost his temper, the whole world would fall apart in an instant and he could turn his back on just about anyone.
"Guys, saw the pillar," Jay said with a solemn look on his face.
Not long after that, two workers sauntered over with saws in their hands.
Rose stared at the magnificent-looking European-styled pillar. She would be committing a sin if it was sawed off because of her.
